Salt Peanuts
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Roast
Roast the peanuts in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown.
Season and serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste.
Allow to cool before serving.

What each ingredient does
- Peanuts
- Main ingredient that browns in the oven, developing a toasted, nutty flavor and crisp texture.
The step that matters
Salting after roasting. Salt sprinkled on hot nuts sticks to the oiled surface and dissolves into it, so it is applied straight out of the oven. Salt added before roasting can dull the browning and makes the seasoning less even.
